Angad glances over at Kripa sitting next to him the car, they're parked outside her house but Kripa still hasn't gone inside, she is still holding the napkin with Shaan's autograph, a smile creeps on his face, he inches closer to her and softly kisses her neck breaking her out of trance, she turns her head to him and kisses him softly, she cups his face then pulls back, Angad looks confused.
"I love you and all Angad, and I know we've already given ourselves to each other, but I just maybe we should wait before we do it again"
Angad nods his head and pecks her cheek softly, she appreciates his understanding and replies by kissing his cheek too, she wishes him goodnight and gets out of the car, he watches her until she stops at the door, turns around and waves, he waves back and starts the car, she disappears in to her house and he drives off.
Kripa takes her cardigan off and gets changed in to her night clothes, she glances at the clock and sees it is almost 11, she sits on her bed and wonders if Rahul is awake, she calls him but gets a busy tone, she wonders who he's on the phone with, she waits 15 minutes and calls again but the busy tone is still there, she gets up and begins pacing the room. Could it be possible that he has a girlfriend? Kripa thinks, but if he does then he'll obviously tell her. She sits back on the bed and calls him again and this time the phone rings, Rahul answers.
"Hey sis, you not asleep?"
"I could ask you the same thing, who were you talking to for so long?" Kripa asks
"Angad" Rahul replies
"Angad?" Kripa asks looking confused.
"Yeah, he called me, disturbed my sleep actually, he started telling me how he got Shaan to sing for you"
Kripa blushes as she remembers dancing with Angad, Rahul questions her sudden quietness, she brushes it off and wishes him a goodnight, she hangs up and lies down in bed
*************************
Angad hears his phone ringing awaking him from his beautiful dream about Kripa, he curses under his breath, he sits up and picks up his mobile and sees his dad's name flashing, he silently mutters an apology for cursing his own dad then answers.
"Dad, what's so important that you rang at…." Angad glances at the clock "10 in the morning, especially when it's my day off?"
"Sorry son, never meant to wake you, anyways as you know Kareena's expecting"
"Yeah congrats once again dad"
"Thanks, but she has no one here, and I thought it would be good for her to spend some time with Kripa, so we're coming to stay with you"
"With me? Dad I live in a bachelor pad, where will you sleep?"
"Well since you're a kind son you'll let us sleep in your room and you'll sleep on the couch"
Angad shakes his head, he had that coming to him, he gets out of bed and walks over to the window.
"Its only temporary son, at least until I find a nice place for us four to stay in"
Angad scrunches up his face, he opens his window slightly letting in fresh air then walks over to his cupboard and opens it taking out a pair of jeans and a shirt
"Us four?" Angad asks looking slightly confused.
"Yes, me, Kareena, your nani and you"
"Wait….Nani?"
"Yes she's coming to stay with Kareena to help her through her pregnancy, after all it is her first child"
"OK I get that…but me? I have a place of my own" Angad reminds his dad
"Yes I'm aware of that but has it occurred to you that ever since you graduated and began living on your own that we have not spent enough time with each other?"
Angad mentally agrees puts his clothes on his bed, he walks over to his drawer and takes out a clean pair of boxers and thrown them on the bed.
"OK, so what's that got to do with me living with you?"
"Well this way you and me will get to spend time together, you'll get to see your nani, you'll spend more time with Kareena and you'll be part of the pregnancy and you'll be there when the baby's born"
His dad had a point, but Angad firmly rejects the idea of living with them much to Dilip's disappointment.
"So when are you getting here?" Angad asks swiftly changing the subject and wondering how much time he had before they arrived.
"Well we'll be leaving the M1 in a few minutes, so say half an hour?"
"Gee dad could have given me at least an hour's notices before you got here, how am I supposed to get ready and tidy up in half an hour?"
"I'm sure you'll think of something"
With that Dilip hangs up, Angad mutters under his breath, he picks up his clothes and runs to the bathroom to have a quick shower, he brushes his teeth and jumps in the shower and quickly washes himself, he gets out with a towel wrapped around his waist and hurriedly gets his clothes on, he looks at himself in the mirror with his shirt not tucked in, the top three buttons open and his hair a mess, he shrugs his shoulders and leaves his shirt as it is, he runs his hand through his wet hair and lets the messiness stay there, he turns and looks at the room and notices various items of clothing lying around, he rushes and picks them up, he throws the dirty ones by the door and puts the clean ones away, he rushes over and picks up the dirty clothes and takes them to the laundry basket in the bathroom, he then rushes back to his room and pulls the covers off the duvet and changes the bed sheet, he didn't exactly want his dad sleeping on the same sheets he slept in, once he had changed the duvet cover, he puts the used ones in the laundry basket then runs downstairs, he goes to the kitchen and opens the fridge and finds it half empty, he hits himself on his head for not going shopping, he takes out his mobile and calls his dad and asks him to pick up some things on the way, his dad agrees and Angad goes in to the living room, he tidies up his books and puts them on the shelf and starts to vacuum the place up.
When he feels the place is tidy enough he rests on the sofa when it dawns on him that his dad and Kareena were going to be staying with him, what was he supposed to do while they were busy being all loved up? Angad racks his brain and finds a solution; he rings Kripa who answers the phone after a few rings.
"Angad, can you call back later? I'm busy"
"You're busy, with what?"
"I'm briefing my boss on the case he has to fight on Monday"
"Oh, sorry Kripa, yeah I'll call later, just miscall me when you're free"
Angad hangs up and rests his head back against the sofa when he remembered his dad telling him Nani would also be coming, where was she going to sleep? It had already been decided that his dad and Kareena would sleep on the sofa, he would sleep on the couch but he never thought about where Nani would sleep, after a few minutes he rang his dad again.
"What is it now son?"
"We've decided where you and Kareena are sleeping, and we've decided I'm on the couch but what about Nani? Where is she going to sleep?" Angad asks feeling lost
"I guess she'll have to sleep on the floor in the living room"
Angad agrees and hangs up, he heads upstairs but realises he has no spare mattresses to put on the floor, he takes out his phone to call Kripa but remember she's busy so he calls Rahul.
"Hey Angad, what's up?"
"Listen my family's coming over to stay and I don't have an extra mattress, do you? Or maybe Kripa has one at her place?"
"I think Kripa has one, have you asked her?"
"I called her before but she's in some meeting with her boss, Rahul my dad will be here soon, do you reckon you can bring it over?"
"Sure thing, I'll pop over to hers now"
"Thanks"
Angad hangs up and waits for Rahul, 10 minutes later he hears the door, he prays it isn't his dad and thankfully it isn't, he opens the door and finds Rahul standing there, he goes out and helps Rahul bring the mattress inside.
"Dude, you're a life saver"
"Yeah sure, make sure you tell my sister you have it"
"I will" Angad promises.
Angad sees Rahul out then rushes upstairs and gets another bed cover and duvet, he takes them downstairs and puts the bed cover on the mattress and puts the duvet on it, he heads back upstairs and brings two pillows down, one for the mattress and one for himself, he then realises he has no more duvets, he curses and wonders whether to call Rahul again, he decides against it and grabs his jacket from the stair case, he picks up his keys from the kitchen and leaves, he gets in his car and zooms over to the nearest home furniture store, and purchases a duvet and quickly makes it home before his dad gets there.
Feeling tired Angad lies on the couch and closes his eyes when he hears his mobile ring, he takes it from his pocket and sees Kripa's name flashing, he answers and apologises again about calling at an inappropriate time earlier, Kripa brushes it off and inquires about his reason for calling, Angad informs her of Dilip's plans to stay with him.
"That's good Angad, you'll spend more time with them" Kripa assures him
"That's all great but I'll be like a third wheel, Nani won't be here till ages, so I was hoping you could come here, that way I won't be so left out"
"Sure Angad, I'll be there in an hour ok?"
"An hour, can't you come now?"
"It's only an hour, I'm sure you can manage that"
Angad moans but agrees and hangs up, he looks around the room and feels it is tidy enough, he goes to the kitchen and makes himself a cup of coffee, he merely sips it when his dad arrives, Angad opens the door and welcomes Dilip and Kareena, he leads them to the living room and makes them sit on the other couch while his sits on the mattress on the floor.
"Congrats again" Angad exclaims
"Thanks Angad, I just can't believe it, when the doctor told me I was pregnant….it was an out of this world feeling" Kareena told him
Angad smiles, he knows both his dad and Kareena are happy so who is he to rain in on their parade, he offers them coffee and they accept, he disappears in to the kitchen to make the coffee, he comes back holding two mugs and gives them to Dilip and Kareena.
"Did you get the stuff I asked for dad?" Angad asks remembering his fridge is almost empty
"Yes, the bags are in the hallway"
"OK, I'll go put them away, in the meant time why don't you take your things up to my room?"
Dilip nods his head, Angad goes to put the shopping away while Dilip and Kareena finish their coffees then head upstairs to put their bags in Angad's room. Soon enough they come back down and Angad inquires if they're hungry but luckily for him they weren't, he quickly makes something for himself and eats in the kitchen while Dilip and Kareena get comfy on the couch. The doorbell rings, Kareena goes to answer the door and finds Kripa standing there, Kripa congratulates Kareena and greets her with a warm hug, Kripa follows Kareena in to the living room where she greets and congratulates Dilip, after some small talk she leaves them alone and goes to Angad who gives her a big hug.
"Thank you for coming"
"It's ok, where Nani?"
"She won't be here until later this evening"
"So I'm supposed to stay here all this time?" Kripa asks
"Please" Angad pouts
Kripa smiles and kisses him softly agreeing to stay there until Nani came. She sits opposite Angad at the kitchen table
"So why is my mattress here?"
Angad looks puzzled for a second but remembers and nods his head
"It's for Nani to sleep on, I called Rahul and he bought it over for me"
"I see, so what are we going to do while your parents are being lovey dovey inside?"
"Correction, my parent and his wife"
"Whatever, well?"
"I have one idea"
Angad gets up from the table and walks to her and gets her up from her seat and moves closer to her, he's about to kiss her until he hears someone clearing their throat, he turns and sees Dilip, he quickly moves away from Kripa and goes to his dad
"What's up dad?"
"I just wanted to speak with you for a second Angad"
"Sure thing"
Kripa looks at Angad and nods her head and leaves from the kitchen, Angad sits at the table and Dilip sits opposite him, at first both of them are very quiet, looking from side to side, Dilip shifts in his seat and leans forward, Angad turns his gaze towards him and folds his arms waiting for him to speak.
"Angad are you ok with all of this?"
"All of what? You guys staying here, of course"
"No with me and Kareena having a baby"
"Oh, that"
Angad shifts in his seat and leans back and sighs.
"To be honest dad, I was quite shocked when you told me, I mean my dad's having a kid, when he's 48, that too with a woman who is 32, I mean you are at the age where you should be having grandchildren, not your own children"
"I understand that you feel that way…." Dilip is unable to finish his sentence as Angad interrupts.
"But then I asked myself what mattered more, your age or your happiness? And well of course your happiness matters more to me than your age, so if you want to have a child to make yours and Kareena's family complete then who am I to go against it?"
Dilip's smiles he nods his head in agreement and laughs slightly, Angad looks confused and asks the reason for Dilip's change in mood.
"When you were younger you would watch your friends with their brothers and sisters and then you would come to me and your mother and ask why you didn't have any brothers or sisters, but because of the complications your mom faced when having you she was unable to have any other children, and it upset us, we both wanted to make you happy by making your wish come true, but it never happened until now, better late than never hey?"
Angad nods his head and stands up from the table, Dilip does the same and stands opposite him, Angad leans forward and hugs Dilip then stands back.
"Thanks dad, I'm glad you finally made my dream come true of having a brother or sister"
Dilip smiles then leaves from the kitchen, Angad stands there for a brief moment until he feels someone looking at him, he glances and finds Kripa standing there, he reaches out and pulls her closer and kisses her softly then holds her close to him.
"I think for the first time in years me and dad and finally connected"
Kripa smiles and kisses his cheek, they stay like that for a while until they hear the door opening, they glance at each other wondering who it is until they hear someone's voice, Angad's face lights up.
"Nani?"
They let go of each other and head towards the main entrance and find Angad's nani Shilpa, they both hug her and take her blessings, she looks at them and smiles, she looks towards Angad.
"I told you everything would work out"
Angad grins and hugs her again and leads her in to the living room where Dilip and Kareena are sitting, they stand up and greet her and take her blessings, she congratulates them and sits down beside them. Kripa turns and heads to the kitchen and begins making something for them all to eat while Angad catches up with Shilpa, after a few minutes Kareena gets up and joins Kripa in the kitchen and helps her with the cooking, they both have the food ready on the table and Kareena calls the others in to the kitchen, they follow her and get seated at the table and all begin eating, Angad smiles to himself, he nudges Dilip.
"I guess I could get used to eating with the family"
Dilip smiles at Angad's change of heart.
"So does this mean you'll live with us?" Dilip asks wanting to confirm what he hope sis true.
Angad smiles and nods his head, Dilip exclaims his happiness and gives Angad a small hug, Kripa smiles seeing Angad so happy, she takes a bite of her jacket potato and reaches out for her glass of juice when her phone rings, she answers it and hears Rahul's voice on the other end.
"Sis I'm at your house, you should come home"
"Is everything ok?"
"It's best if you come here and see for yourself"
Kripa hangs up and stands up from the table, Angad looks confused.
"Everything ok?"
"I don't know, Rahul called and told me to come home straight away"
"Ok, I'll come with you"
"No its ok, you guys carry on, I'll be back tomorrow, bye"
Kripa gives Nani and Kareena a quick hug and leaves the kitchen, Angad quickly hurries after her and stops her as she's about to open the front door.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"
"Yes, I'll call you later ok"
She kisses his cheek then disappears out of the house leaving Angad to wonder what is going on.
